[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No, nobody is prepared to fight that kind of fire. (Not that we have the same fire risk here, for reasons PPs explained.) You can only evacuate. [/quote] The question you and others are missing is: are our first responders adequately prepared, staffed and equipped? It sounds like the LA forces were not for even a lesser emergency. Are our first responders equally understaffed? Under budget? If so, that puts our communities at risk. Are we at risk if, for example, even only three houses are on fire simultaneously in Arlington? Fairfax City? Bethesda? Clarksburg? Anacostia?[/quote]
